<span>Hydrolysis is the breaking down of bonds when water is involved in the reaction. </span>The net reaction for the hydrolysis of water yields hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions because these ions are dissociated upon solvolysis. This means they are completely dissolved and transformed into ions thereafter.

Which is more stable: neutral chlorine atoms or chlorine ions? Why?

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

When we say "chlorine wants to gain one electron", we speak of the radical atom. Chlorine as a free radical, Cl⋅ , is the chlorine atom that we say has 7 valence electrons and wants its 8th to form an octet. So, Cl⋅ , chlorine radical, is less stable, and Cl− , chlorine ion, is more stable

The acidity of normal rain water is due to ______.<br><br> a) SO2<br> b) CO2<br> c) NO2<br> d) NO

Viktor [21]

The correct answer choice is CO₂ (B)

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Rainwater can cause damage to buildings, animals or plants due to acid rain

Acid rain occurs because other gases in the air mix with toxic gases to form acids

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

However, due to exhaust gases from industry, motor vehicles, or power plants that use fossil fuels containing sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide gas which will produce sulfuric acid

Sulfur combustion from fossil fuels

S + O₂ ----> SO₂

SO₂ produced from this exhaust gas reacts with O₂ oxygen which oxidizes SO₂ to SO₃

SO₂ + O₂ ----> SO₃

SO3 formed reacts with water vapor in the air to produce sulfuric acid as acid rain

SO₃ + H₂O ---> H₂SO₄

To reduce the pollution from this fossil fuel, various studies are now carried out as substitute energy that is more environmentally friendly such as solar energy and so on
